How Did You Hear of DW?? - 9/18/2010 11:55:27 AM

Status: offline 		Just bought this game yesterday, and so far I'm loving it. The potential in this game is huge along with the potential future features that it may contain. I already consider this far superior to my other favorite, GalCiv...

If there is one thing that's been bugging me since I bought this game, its the lack of advertisement.

I found out about this game by pure chance alone, after doing a quick search in google for 'Top Games of 2010', and if it wasn't for my rather uncanny patience by scrolling down the list of hundreds of games, I probably would never had made a purchase...

Which suggests to me that lack of advertisement will have a negative effect on sales, and a negative effect on sales may damage the game in the long run, something I don't want to see, considering how much I've fallen in love now with this very game ...

So, after doing a quick check on the forums to see if a similar thread exists, I would like to do a poll of sorts on how you became aware of this game, heck... It may even help the Devs understand how their game is being discovered.

During the course of that conversation, a couple WG'ers mentioned being beta-testers for Distant Worlds. After hearing their description for it, I just had to check it out!

Expected really, a lot of folks here are Matrix fans in general and will check out any new game they release, even if it's a genre outside of their usual interests. Pretty much everybody is a wargames fan, but most play other strategy games of assorted flavours as well.

By the way, Joseph... I read all posts and AARs on moo3 atari forums. Been there for some years without actually feeling the need to post anything. Never even logged on. I am telling you man... if you'r indeed that very same joseph then you ARE one of the most dedicated moo3 gamers out there. Fighting for moo3 all over the net..posting somewhere about how moo3 changed with all the fan made mods. hehe quite commendable :)

I spent so many hours on that game. It looked afwul..but had something to keep me going back to it... I have this love and hate thing about moo3.

Nevertheless, personaly, even with all those dedicate fan modifications and fixes, I consider it a failure. Still angry with it.

Status: offline 		I can't remember the site, but I saw screenshots on some review site back at the start of the year. I remember thinking something along the lines of 'That could be good if they do it right, which they probably won't' (ever the pessimist). Glad to say now I was proved wrong.
